I realize that you think the rapture doctrine is demonic. So we shall see.
I guess you dont believe in signs and wonders which happen to folks when they tell you about them unless it fits with your theology.
Well, this dream that this "Catholic" had DROVE me to water baptism in Jesus' name that very week for fear of being left behind.
I guess SATAN was the one that drove me to such a dramatic conversion that very week of Oct. 7, 1979 right?
I personally think you need to check your walk with God when hurling accusational judgement at folks without knowing the facts of their conversion.
You are literally saying the works of God are of SATAN right?
That is blaspheming the Holy Ghost in my opinion!
You have now crossed the line of the MIRACLE of a mans' conversion and attacked the very work of the Holy Ghost that was clearly done!

Wowser!! What an outrageous and slanderous accusation! Here I was only attacking your corrupt doctrine, BUT NOT YOU, and you turn right around and do the very opposite to one who seeks only to get you to "open your blinded eyes" to what the scriptures say! Amazing indeed!
Sean, you've repeatedly stated on this forum that you are a teacher, and one of the greatest traits of a "good" teacher is to ALWAYS maintain a "teachable attitude." This is an attribute which you have failed to demonstrate that you possess, but even more than that, it appears NOT to be one you even cherish having. So how can you ever hope to increase your knowledge of any matter, or even to correct an error which might be present in your own tenaciously held belief about any matter, unless, and until you are willing to set aside, at least temporarily (but not discard altogether) that which you have accepted and believed to be the truth, so that you might, in a non-biased and objective manner, take a close "second look" at that which you were most confident of its truthfulness at first glance?
As I have informed you before, there was a time in my life, and, in fact for an extended period, when I tenaciously embraced and defended a pre-trib rapture teaching. But as I began to examine each facet of it over a period of time, accompanied by much prayer and fasting, I finally concluded that it was so thoroughly corrupt that it could be called nothing less than a "doctrine of devils." And as with any such heresy, its sole purpose was that of concealing a lie, so I had to then make an even greater investment of time, prayer and fasting in an effort to determjne what great truth the rapture heresy was designed to conceal, and with the help of the Holy Ghost I was able to do that.
If you are ever able to realize the sincerity with which I state these things to you, and are willing to set aside your biased beliefs long enough to allow you ample time to consider and scripturally verify the merits of those things that God has revealed to me about these critical and ever-increasingly relevant matters, then I would be most pleased to explain them to you.
Warmest Regards, Lafon
